Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts.
I am going to go through the books in the next few days and take them down to the Community Center when I go to my Quilting group. They aren't old and yellowed, still in good shape. I'm also going to go to the local bookstore and buy some children's books to add to the shelf. That'll be a win-win for the shop, the children who tag along with grown ups for meetings at the center and for me. Kids deserve new books. (I also taught preschool through third grade). And it'll be fun to pick them out.
Now, my special children's books are staying put as well as the quilting books.
And yes, the option to make the print larger is a real plus. Even if I remember reading 'real' books more than I remember electronic ones. Ha!
